Standard electrode potentials are:

\(F e^{+ 2} / F e\)\(E^\circ\) \(=\) \(- 0 .44\)

\(F e^{+ 3} / F e^{+ 2}\)\(E ^\circ\) \(= 0 . 77\)

Choose the correct observation when \(𝐹𝑒^{+2}\) , \(𝐹𝑒^{+3}\) and \(Fe_{(solid)}\) are kept together:

1. Fe+3 increases

2. Fe+3 decreases

3. Fe+2Fe+3 remains unchanged

4. Fe+2 decreases

Consider the following reactions:

(a) 6 CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(g)

(b) O3(g) + H2O2(l) H2O(l) + 2O2(g)

These reactions are more appropriately written in the expanded form as:

(a) 6CO2(g) + 12H2O(l) C6H12O6(aq) + 6H2O(l) + 6O2(g)

(b) O3(g) + H2O2(l) H2O(l) + O2(g) + O2(g) 

Which of the following is the most appropriate reason for writing them in expanded form?

1. Water molecules are also formed as a product in photosynthesis.

2. Water molecules are not formed as a product in photosynthesis.

3. Oxygen molecules are also formed as a product in photosynthesis.

4. Oxygen molecules are not formed as a product in photosynthesis.
